My Family Tree Odyssey

Well here I am getting all revved up and excited because next month I am going to Massachusetts and Maine to do some research on my mother's father's side of the family. I'm going to meet with two of his sisters (my great aunts, in case any of you out there in cyberland didn't realize that), and one of them supposedly has all this information that I'm looking for. Of course I have to wait until I meet her to find out exactly how much she has. I can't believe what an obsession my family tree has become....It is SO VERY addictive! Once you get started on it you literally cannot stop. And it takes a lot of work, especially if you go very deeply into it. For example, I am doing not only my direct ancestry but also the other branches of my family tree...such as cousins, etc. Right now I am doing all the descendants of an ancestor I have from the early 1400's! I have over 230 pages of notes on her in my computer already, and I am still not done with all of the people that descend from her. This of course does not include my line...but all the other lines that come through her. AND, I've been doing this section of my family tree for several months now! AND, it's only one side of my maternal grandfather's ancestry. AND, I haven't done most of the rest of his side, nor have I done my maternal grandmother's yet....NOR have I done my FATHER'S SIDE!!! WHEW! Tired yet? I am! But it's so much fun!
